"Master..."

Lin Xu smiled and greeted the Master, who was dressed more punk than a rock singer. My Master is really letting himself go.

"Master, with that outfit, anyone would think you’re my senior brother," Lin Xu joked.

Xie Baomin greeted him cheerfully, then turned to the middle-aged lady and said, "Hello, Auntie!"

This must be the ’Leopard Print Auntie’ my junior brother mentioned. I almost blurted out ’Leopard Print’ when I greeted her. Good thing I held back.

「A month had passed.」

Master had dyed his hair black and was dressed much younger. Standing next to the ’Leopard Print Auntie,’ they actually looked quite compatible.

"My younger apprentice is getting more and more successful," the Master observed. Then, noticing Xie Baomin’s somewhat haggard appearance, he couldn’t help but add, "My older apprentice, however... you should find some time to work out. Why do you look so drained?"

Xie Baomin quickly replied, "I’ve already got a gym membership. I’ll work out every day, striving to have eight-pack abs like yours, Master."

The Master chuckled, then introduced them. "Let me introduce you two. This is Auntie Luo."

He didn’t call her Master’s wife. Are they not married yet? Lin Xu murmured to himself. Then, he loudly greeted, "Hello, Auntie Luo! Thank you for the gifts in my livestream. You’ve spent too much."

Xie Baomin also quickly greeted, "Hello, Auntie Luo. Thank you for taking care of our Master."

While greeting, he was comparing her in his mind to his Master’s former wives. Whether in terms of figure, temperament, or looks, this Auntie Luo seems inferior. Master is indeed getting old. The Master’s wives he found in the past—which one wasn’t elegant and outstandingly beautiful?

Could it be that once a playboy settles down, he chooses someone comparatively ordinary to spend his days with?

The ’Leopard Print Auntie,’ whose name was Luo Shan, looked at the two apprentices greeting her. She took out two red envelopes from her bag and handed them over, saying, "Hello, hello. It’s our first meeting, so Auntie has a small red envelope for each of you. Inside are two cards, each with one million yuan. The PIN is your Master’s retirement date."

One... million?

Xie Baomin, looking at the thin red envelope which didn’t feel thick at all, had thought it contained at most five hundred yuan. So when Auntie Luo handed it over, he had casually accepted it. But hearing it was one million, the hand holding the red envelope trembled. I was a bit reckless.

Do these rich people misunderstand the ’small’ in ’small red envelope’? If one million is a ’small’ red envelope, then how much is a ’big’ one?

He smiled wryly and tried to hand the red envelope back. "Auntie Luo, this is too much, isn’t it?"

Luo Shan waved her hand dismissively. "Too much? What’s too much? When an elder gives you something, just take it. If you don’t accept it, it means you don’t acknowledge my status."

Your status?

Xie Baomin, feeling the outline of the bank card in the red envelope, immediately said, "Thank you, Master’s wife! Our Master is truly blessed to have you."

This made the Master glare at him. This worthless dog! Sold me out for a million, did you?

However, the senior apprentice didn’t notice his Master’s murderous gaze at that moment; he was still lost in his own reflections. This new Master’s wife is so much better than the previous ones! Those former ones, judging by their looks, weren’t cut out for a settled life. Master has weathered countless storms and finally met the person most suited for him. This is truly worthy of celebration!

After taking the money, Xie Baomin immediately changed his opinion of Auntie Luo, and in his heart, he directly ranked her as No.1 among all the Master’s wives. This is what a Master’s wife should be like! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Seeing his senior brother change his address, Lin Xu also followed suit. "Thank you, Master’s wife!"

"Thank me for what? Isn’t it only right to give you red envelopes? Handsome, you talk to them. I’ll wait for you in the car," Luo Shan said.

After speaking, the Master’s wife walked towards the exit of the venue, apparently not planning to stay for lunch.

The Master nodded and then said to his two apprentices, "For the past ten-odd years, I’ve been cooped up in that little world of the Fishing Platform. I haven’t seen the great mountains and rivers of our country, nor have I measured the land beneath my feet. After this trip, there are even more places I want to go. Your Auntie Luo and I plan to go to the Northeast, explore the old forests, and climb Changbai Mountain. Then we’ll take a road trip around and finally settle down in Yangcheng."

What? Settle in Yangcheng?

Initially, Lin Xu thought his Master’s plans were quite romantic. But if he settled in Yangcheng, it would be inconvenient to ask him for advice on cooking in the future.

"Master, why do you want to settle in Yangcheng?" Lin Xu asked.

"It’s warmer, of course," the Master replied. "And Old Guo is setting up that Cantonese Cuisine Museum; I think it’d be fun to be his neighbor. When you guys have vacation time, you can come visit. Besides, in terms of culinary arts, Yangcheng is well worth exploring."

Xie Baomin tucked the red envelope into his pocket and asked the Master, "Are you leaving right now?"

"Yes, we’re heading straight to the airport shortly. We’ve chartered a small plane direct to the Northeast. I used to worry that my skills would be lost, with no one to carry them on. Now that Little Xu is here, I don’t have to worry anymore. Baomin, when you’re not busy, teach your junior brother more. When he reaches your level, I’ll teach him some high-end dishes."

"Understood, Master. I’ll remember," Xie Baomin replied.

After speaking, the Master smiled apologetically at Lin Xu. "We won’t be staying for lunch today. Please apologize to your family for me. Our time as master and apprentice hasn’t been long, but we’ve really hit it off. Before I leave, come and give your Master a hug."

A hug?

Lin Xu was a bit surprised, not understanding what his Master was up to. In TV dramas, only people with terminal illnesses act like this... Could it be that Master also...
